Damaged Heart

chapter twenty six

next day

Mercedes

I woke up at 10. August still wasn't here. I went to the bathroom, getting in the shower.

I got out in 15 minute, did my hygiene. I put on some black loose sweat pants, a grey tank top and put my hair into a ponytail. My stomach was cramping real bad, I thought it was probably my cycle coming on soon. I went downstairs to bubbles barking at the door, wanting to go out, giving me a headache.

I opened the door for him and watched him as he used it, after a while he came back in, starting to eat as I filled his tray. I took an aspirin to try to keep my stomach from cramping. I got out some bacon and eggs and some pans, to cook. I put the bacon in one skillet, and the eggs in another. It was done soon . I sat down at the island and started eating. After I was done, I started washing the dishes. The food felt as if it was sitting ontop of my stomach, ugh.

Then August came in, he looked very tired. He came over and wrapped his arms around my waist, kissing my neck. I pushed him back with my hips, he smelt like weed and that smell was making me sick.

"Oh that's how you gon do me?" He asked, I smiled.
"That smell making me sick, I already don't feel too good."
"Umm.." He mumbled and went upstairs.

I dried the dishes, and put them up. I took an Advil since that aspirin wasn't doing shit.
I went over the couch as bubbles jumped up in my lap , laying down. I turned on the tv , but It wasn't nothing on so I just watched Martin reruns. Then I heard my phone ring. I got bubbles out my lap and I jogged upstairs, getting my phone off the charger.

" hello?" I asked answering it, rubbing my hair.
" hey Mercedes .."
" Chris? What you want? Why you calling my phone?"
"Hey yeah, I just wanted to apologize for what I did in the past, I wasn't thinking. I was mad and jumped into actions. Can you forgive me?"

"Uhh...you really hurt me Chris..."
"I know I'm really sorry, all I have is love for you, I don't even know where it came from.."
"Uhh I guess ... I forgive you.."
"Thanks Mercedes, can we get back together now?"
"Umm no we can't, I'm in a relationship!"
"With August?"

" yes and-" he cut me off.
"How are you gonna date your brother?"
"He ain't my brother, he never was..goodbye Chris I'm over talking to you.." I said and hung up, slightly irritated. I couldn't stand when people bring that brother shit up . Our parents never got married so we weren't siblings yet. And even if they did, we wouldn't have been blood, ugh whatever. I was about to go back downstairs til August came back out the bathroom.
" who was that on the phone?" He asked, drying his hair.

" Chris ugh.." I rolled my eyes. He stopped.
"Why he calling you?"
"He apologized for what he did but he started irritating me so I hung up on his ass.." I said.
"Umm" he said and went back in the bathroom and came back out, fully dressed.
"Well I'm bout to go out with some niggas, I'll be back lata' " he said, getting his keys
"You're leaving again? Ugh.." I said.
"You wanna come? You scared?" He asked.
"Nah go on.." I muttered and went back downstairs.
"Lil attitude ass.." He said . " no I don't.." "Come give me a kiss then.." He said.

I got up slowly , going to him. He pulled me to him, crashing our lips together.
"Ok bye babe.." He said, stepping out the door. " bye" I said and locked the door. I turned around to the lonely house. It wasn't nothing to do so I decided to clean the whole house. I went and got my phone,beats and cleaning supplies. I started in the master bedroom & bathroom, with my beats on playing trey songz ft nicki minaji " touchin,lovin".
